Thousand Trails Parks by System + Phone Numbers: The NACO, Outdoor World, Leisure Time & Mid-Atlantic Directory

If you’ve ended up here, you probably typed something like “which Thousand Trails parks are NACO parks” — or you’re trying to find the phone number for a specific park and Google is being weird about it (more on that in a second). Either way, welcome. You’re in the right place.

Here’s the thing almost nobody explains clearly: Thousand Trails isn’t one tidy chain. It’s a stack of older membership systems — NACO, Outdoor World, Leisure Time, Mid-Atlantic — that got folded in over the decades, plus the original Thousand Trails resorts themselves. The parks you can use depend on which of those systems your membership carries. So below, I’ve laid out every park grouped by its original system — and I’ve included the ranger-station phone number for each one, because those are weirdly hard to find online.

Researching a used membership specifically? This page is the park map — for what the membership types actually convey, go straight to my full breakdown of used Thousand Trails membership types →.

Table of Contents

Try finding the phone number for various Thousand Trails parks and you might as well be asking for the nuclear codes while wearing a sign that says “I’m a terrorist!” That’s where this nifty list comes in for you TT members.

For those of you thinking about buying a legacy membership, not all memberships include all parks. And some memberships have different booking windows depending on the park type. This list is designed to help you quickly sort which parks are included.  

The phone-number trick. Try Googling “Thousand Trails Chehalis” and you'll notice the park's direct number often doesn't show up as a clickable result — you end up bouncing through menus or the main reservation line. So I put every park's ranger-station number right here in one place. Bookmark this page; it'll save you a headache when you need to reach a park directly.

One honest note on this list. These parks and numbers come straight from a real 2026 Elite Connections transfer contract — 81 parks across all five systems. It's an excellent snapshot, but Thousand Trails adds, drops, and renames parks, and phone numbers can change. Treat this as a map and a starting point, not gospel — and your membership's parks depend on the systems written into your contract, so always confirm with TT before money changes hands.

Why ‘Which System?’ Is the Question That Actually Matters

When people ask “how many parks does Thousand Trails have?” they’re asking the wrong question. The right one is which systems does my membership include — because that’s what determines where you can actually camp.

A used membership might carry all five systems, or just one or two. An old NACO-only contract gets you NACO parks and not much else. An Elite Connections might span everything. This is exactly why two memberships with similar-sounding names can be worth wildly different amounts — and why reading the contract matters more than the label on it. (I go deep on that in my used membership types guide → and untangle the whole mess in The Confusing World of Thousand Trails flowchart →.)

Buying used? The single most useful thing you can do is match the systems on the contract to the parks you actually want to camp at. Start with my used membership types breakdown →, then talk it through with a Membership Specialist I trust — it costs you nothing and it's saved my readers from some genuinely bad buys.

Thousand Trails Resorts (32 parks)

The original network and still the backbone — concentrated out West and in the Pacific Northwest, with a strong Texas presence and a handful out East. (Hershey is probably my favorite park so far, for the record.)

NACO Resorts (20 parks)

NACO — the National American Corporation — ran its own private campground chain until Thousand Trails acquired it in 1991. It’s heavy on California and the West Coast, with a scattering out East. If you’re eyeing an older NACO membership, these are your parks (and often only these).

Outdoor World Resorts (15 parks)

The Outdoor World system is the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic cluster — think Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, and New England. If you camp the East Coast, this is the system that matters most to you.

Mid-Atlantic Resorts (7 parks)

Despite the name, the Mid-Atlantic system is scattered surprisingly wide — Alabama, Michigan, Kentucky, Florida, the Carolinas, and New York. Seven parks, very spread out.

  • Bear Cave — Buchanan, MI — 269-695-3050
  • Diamond Cavern — Park City, KY — 270-749-2891

Before you pay for “extra” parks. A seller may list parks that aren't actually conveyed by the contract, or “bonus” parks Thousand Trails can pull at any time. Never overpay on the assumption that a membership includes everything above — confirm in writing exactly which systems and parks transfer to you. My guide on who should NOT buy a Thousand Trails membership → covers the traps.

Already a Member? Make These Parks Work Harder

If you’ve already got a membership, the game isn’t which parks — it’s how you book them. Booking windows, high-use rules, and a little planning discipline are the difference between scoring the site you want and staring at a “sold out” screen. (And now you’ve got every park’s direct number above, so you can call and ask about a site before you commit.) I put everything I’ve learned into 9 trail-tested secrets to maximize your membership →.

Odie's two cents: Five systems, eighty-one parks, eighty-one phone numbers, and a hooman who color-codes spreadsheets about it. I just care which ones have the best squirrels. (Verde Valley. It's Verde Valley.)

Ty's TakeAways

Ty Chapman and his dog Odie
  1. Thousand Trails is five systems stacked together — TT, NACO, Outdoor World, Leisure Time, and Mid-Atlantic. Your membership's value is decided by which of those it carries.

  2. The park lists and phone numbers above come from a real 2026 contract (81 parks). Use them as a map, but confirm the exact systems on the specific contract you're considering — and remember numbers can change.

  3. If you wandered in here researching used memberships, the next stop is my used membership types breakdown → — that's where the “what does it actually convey” question gets answered.

  4. And if your head's spinning (totally normal — Odie's is too), a quick no-pressure call with a Membership Specialist I trust will tell you whether a specific contract is a smart buy or a money pit. Costs nothing.

A Little Bit About Me.

I started writing this blog as a way to capture the adventurous and free lifestyle I’m privileged to live. I’ve traveled to over 28 countries and 35 U.S States. I’ve lived aboard in multiple countries and averaged over 100 days a year of travel for work. I’ve skied and hiked all over the world – and my new obsession is mountain biking.

What I bring to you isn’t AI generated. It’s based on my feet on the ground – or sometimes conversations with locals. Click here to read more about me!
